Animation. Curtains open to reveal "Jerry the Troublesome Tyke" with speech bubble: "Hold on a minute - I'm next!". Then title card comes up. U.I.C. production.
Cartoon drawing of a birthday cake. Live action of cartoonist (Sid Griffiths) sitting down at his drawing board. He looks at the cartoon and says: "I never drew THAT!". Cake turns into Jerry holding a sign that says "Many happy returns". Cut to artist, Intertitle reads: "Thanks very much, but it's not MY birthday!". Jerry throws away the sign and says, "No, but it is going to be mine!". Artist talks to the cartoon: "What do you want for a birthday present?". Jerry thinks about it and decides that he wants a gramophone.
Artist draws him a gramophone. Jerry goes over and cranks the record player up. C/U of the record. Label reads: "Pathe Record. "Let's All Go To Jerry-Co". Dog-Trot". Turntable turns, needle put on to record and cartoon notes come out of the gramophone horn. Jerry has a boogie with a big smile on his face. Artist draws him a stickman friend to dance with. Groovy dancing ensues until suddenly the gramophone blows up. The postman arrives and Jerry sees what he thinks are two birthday cards on the floor. One turns out to be a note which reads: "Dear Jerry, what about that Five Bob you borrowed". He chucks it on the floor. The other reads: "When is your Birthday? If you would know your future consult Zodiac the Great Seer". Jerry slides under his front door. Intertitle reads: "See Jerry Next Week seeing the Seer".
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
